CD ReviewsA fascinating fusion of Celtic, Spanish, and Middle Eastern Veggiechiliqueen | 09/11/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "José Angel Hevía is a talented gaitero, or bagpipe player, from the Asturias region of Spain, next to the Celtic region of Galicia and with similar Celtic influences. Both Galicia and the Asturias produce many talented bagpipers and Celtic-influenced groups (Hevía, frequent Cheiftains collaborator Carlos Nuñez, Milladoiro), but Hevía is a breed apart. On "The Other Side" (Al Otro Llado in Spanish), he blends the electronic gaita, an instrument he developed himself, with Asian, Celtic and Middle Eastern influences--Arabic melodies and soloists, Buddhist monks chanting, haunting choral arrangements of traditional songs...blended with modern sound effects, synthesizers, and haunting instrumentals on low whistle and gaita. A perfect gift for the world music fan and a great introduction to Spanish bagpiping." "harmonious balance of memories long past" J. Lovins | Missouri-USA | 10/26/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album takes you to another plain, samplings from each country blends fascinating arrangements and original compositions that seem to linger with you long after you push the stop button on your remote. Hevia is a gifted artist/musician/composer with a distinctive sound and a style that won't quit...electronic bagpipes, flute, low whistle and programming is his speciality, music that gets under your skin...many are from the days when his grandfather was cutting the hay. Simplicity is what most of us search for, this latest release from Hevia and Higher Octave Music has given us a glimpse of what is on "THE OTHER SIDE". Total Time: 52:49 on 12 Tracks ~ Higher Octave Music HOWCD-50794 ~ (2000)"
